Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, polarising beast for those who dare, Habanita delivers a heavy hit of dark, powdery florals. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it. Just beware of reformulations - true fans seek out the older batches.
Divisive, overpriced, and often misunderstood. Clive Christian No. 1 is either a pioneering masterpiece of refined florals and woods, or a dated, powdery soap bar - there's no middle ground. Its luxury is undeniable, but so is its controversial opening.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
With its significant sillage and mature, complex profile, No. 1 is best reserved for formal events and intimate evenings. It's too grand for casual wear and might be overwhelming for an office setting, demanding a refined environment to be truly appreciated.
